                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, Rev. James David Ford, D.D., offered the following 
prayer:
  Let us pray using these words from Psalm 51:
  Create in me a clean heart, O God, and put a new and right spirit 
within me. Cast me not away from Thy presence, and take not Thy holy 
Spirit from me. Restore to me the joy of Thy salvation, and uphold me 
with a willing spirit. O Lord, open Thou my lips, and my mouth shall 
show forth Thy praise. Amen.
